Embodiment 1

This embodiment provides a component polarity detection method, the method includes: selecting first component symbols similar to graphs in a pre-created template library of component polarity symbols from a polar graph layer of a to-be-detected PCB, and sifting out second component symbols each having polarity from the selected first component symbols; and traversing each second component symbol having polarity, to detect whether a polarity symbol that has been already stored in the template library is in the second component symbol having polarity; if yes, examining whether a polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct; and if the polarity position is incorrect, outputting a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect.

The component polarity detection method provided in this embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Referring to FIG. 1A, which is a schematic flowchart of the component polarity detection method in an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1A, the component polarity detection method specifically includes the following several operations:

S11: Creating a template library of the component polarity symbols. In this embodiment, the template library of the component polarity symbols includes component graphs and component polarity symbols. FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of multiple types of component symbols, and FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of multiple types of component polarity symbols.

S12: Selecting first component symbols similar to graphs in the pre-created template library of component polarity symbols from a polar graph layer of a to-be-detected PCB, and sifting out second component symbols each having polarity from the selected first component symbols.

In this embodiment, the first component symbols similar to the graphs in the pre-created template library of component polarity symbols are selected from the polar graph layer of the to-be-detected PCB by using multiple types of graph similarity algorithms. A graph similarity between a component symbol in the polar graph layer of the to-be-detected PCB and the selected first component symbol reaches a similarity threshold. For example, the similarity threshold is 90%.

In this embodiment, all component symbols in the polar graph layer of the to-be-detected PCB are called the first component symbols. A component symbol having a polarity symbol in the first component symbols is called the second component symbol. For example, component symbols such as a diode, a MOS transistor, an IC chip, a resistor, an inductor, and the like in the polar graph layer of the to-be-detected PCB are the first component symbols. The diode, the MOS transistor, the IC chip, and the like each has a polarity symbol. Therefore, the diode, the MOS transistor, the IC chip, and the like that are sifted out are the second component symbols.

In this embodiment, the second component symbols each having polarity are sifted out from the selected first component symbols according to an attribute of a BOM (Bill of Material). The attribute of the BOM includes that a component has a polarity attribute or a component does not have the polarity attribute. For example, resistor components, inductor components and the like do not have the polarity attribute, and components such as diodes, triodes, and MOS transistors have the polarity attribute.

Alternatively, the second component symbols each having polarity are sifted out from the selected first component symbols according to the name prefix of the received component. For example, the received components with name prefixes of U and D, such as U1, U2, and D1, are components each having polarity, and components with name prefixes of R and L, such as resistors R1 and R2 and inductors L1 and L2, are components each having no polarity.

S13: Traversing each second component symbol having polarity, to detect whether a polarity symbol that has been already stored in the template library is in the second component symbol having polarity; if yes, examining whether the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct; and if the polarity position is incorrect, outputting a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect; or if the polarity position is correct, continuing to examine, based on an arrangement order of components in the polar graph layer of the to-be-detected PCB, whether the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the next second component symbol is correct. If a polarity symbol that has been already stored in the template library is not in the second component symbol having polarity, that is, if no polarity symbol is in the second component symbol having polarity, outputting a report indicating a lack of a polarity symbol; or if a polarity symbol that has not been stored in the template library is in the second component symbol having polarity, outputting an addition instruction, to add the polarity symbol that has not been stored to the template library.

Still referring to FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 1, S13 specifically includes the following several operations:

S131: Detecting whether a polarity symbol that has been already stored in the template library is in the second component symbol having polarity, and if yes, performing operation S132, or if the polarity symbol does not exist, performing S133.

S132: Examining whether the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct. If the polarity position is correct, continuing to examine, based on the arrangement order of the components in the polar graph layer of the to-be-detected PCB, whether the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the next second component symbol is correct, until all components each having a polarity symbol are examined. If the polarity position is incorrect, performing operation S134 of outputting a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect.

Specifically, S132 includes: determining whether the second component symbol is a bi-pin component symbol; if the second component symbol is a bi-pin component symbol, examining whether the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct according to the polarity symbol in the bi-pin component symbol and the polarity direction; if the polarity position is correct, continuing to examine whether the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the next second component symbol is correct; and if the polarity position is incorrect, outputting a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect; if the second component symbol is not a bi-pin component symbol, detecting whether the polarity symbol and the polarity pin in the non-bi-pin component symbol are located in the same location area, to examine whether the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct; if the polarity symbol and the polarity pin are located in the same location area, determining that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct; if the polarity symbol and the polarity pin are not located in the same location area, determining that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect, and outputting a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect. The polarity pin is the first pin of a non-bi-pin component by default.

For example, the bi-pin component symbol includes a symbol of a diode D. The symbol of the diode D is divided into left, middle, and right areas. If the polarity symbol of the found diode D has the polarity direction, the polarity position is examined based on the polarity direction in priority. FIG. 3A is a diagram of the component symbol of a diode. As shown in FIG. 3A, D1 is toward the right, and the second pin of the diode is required to be the polarity direction, so that it is examined that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the symbol of the diode is correct. Alternatively, if the polarity symbol has no direction, the polarity symbol of D1 is located in the middle, and the polarity pin 2 of the component is located on the right, it is examined that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the symbol of the diode is incorrect, and the positions are inconsistent, then a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the symbol of the diode is incorrect is output.

FIG. 3B is a symbol diagram of a multi-pin component symbol U1, and FIG. 3C is a symbol diagram of a multi-pin component symbol U2. As shown in FIG. 3B, the position of the polarity symbol and the first pin in the multi-pin component symbol U1 are located in the same location area (as shown in FIG. 3B, the location area is an upper left area), then it is examined that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the position of the polarity symbol and the first pin in the multi-pin component symbol U2 are located in different location areas (as shown in FIG. 3C, the polarity symbol is located in an upper middle area, and the first pin is located in a lower right area), then it is examined that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect, and a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect is output.

S133: If it is detected that the polarity symbol that has been already stored in the template library is not in the second component symbol having polarity, that is, there is no polarity symbol in the second component symbol having polarity, then outputting a report indicating a lack of a polarity symbol; or if a polarity symbol that has not been stored in the template library is in the second component symbol having polarity, then outputting an addition instruction, to add the polarity symbol that has not been stored to the template library.

As shown in FIG. 3D, a multi-pin component symbol U3 is divided into upper left, upper middle, upper right, left middle, middle, right middle, lower left, lower middle, and lower right areas based on ⅓ of X and ⅓ of Y. U3 in FIG. 3D is then traversed, and if there is no polarity symbol in the search area, then directly reporting that there is no polarity symbol in U3.

In this embodiment, the location area is divided in a graph of a component body. For example, the area (referring to a pin coverage area in FIG. 3D) of a component body of U3 is increased by a range of 10% (10% may be set), that is, 110% of the maximum area of the component body (referring to the search area in FIG. 3D). The component body size depends on the actual size of a physical model library in priority. If there is no physical model library, the size of a component body box in CAD is used. If there is no component body box in CAD, the body size is calculated based on coverage areas of all pins of the component.

Performing the component polarity detection method provided in this embodiment, and turning manual examination into computer big data analysis, so that examination efficiency and correctness are improved, and the working environment of engineers is greatly improved. It is an important phase for implementing process examination automation. A PCB having 1000 components is used as an example. If polar components approximately account for 10%, that is, there are 100 polar components, and it takes 10 seconds to manually check one polar component, it needs to take 16.7 minutes to manually check the 100 polar components. If there is a problem, a report is needed for summary, and an entire process needs to take approximately 30 minutes. However, if an engineer uses the method in the present disclosure currently, only 1 to 3 minutes are needed for implementation, not only efficiency is multiplied several times, but also burden of the engineer is greatly eased.

This embodiment further provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program. When executed by a processor, the program implements the above-mentioned component polarity detection method. A person with ordinary skill in the art may understand that all or some of the operations of the method embodiments may be implemented by using computer program related hardware. The computer program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the program is executed, the operations of the method embodiments are performed. The foregoing storage medium includes: any medium that can store program code, such as a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk, an optical disc or the like.

The component polarity detection method and the computer-readable storage medium implementing the component polarity detection method of this embodiment improve component polarity detection efficiency, shorten the detection time, have a low error rate, and play an important role in promoting intelligentization of the electronic industry.

The selection module selects first component symbols similar to graphs in a pre-created template library of component polarity symbols from a polar graph layer of a to-be-detected PCB, and sifts out second component symbols each having polarity from the selected first component symbols. The processing module traverses each second component symbol having polarity, to detect whether a polarity symbol that has been already stored in the template library is in the second component symbol having polarity; if yes, the processing module examines whether a polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is correct; and if the polarity position is incorrect, the processing module outputs a report indicating that the polarity position of the polarity symbol in the second component symbol is incorrect.
